The Book Of A Thousand Sins by Wrath James White

4.0

It isn’t hard to figure out what a Wrath James White book is all about, especially with the brutal covers Deadite, his new main publisher, puts on their books. This one, a collection of his short fiction, serves a different function than his novels, in my humble opinion. While I personally feel Wrath is at his best when he has a novel’s worth of space in which to develop his ideas, the fifteen stories in this collection are a great, and fun, diversion for those who enjoy the most graphic violence and sexuality you’re likely to find in a horror book. My favorites include ‘Don’tScream,’ about a woman who comes back to life far hornier than she’d left it; ‘A Dialogue Between a Priest and a Dying Man,’ about the vicious interrogation of a war criminal; and ‘Fly,’ about sex and balconies. The titular novelette near the end is a veritable tour de force of BDSM set against the backdrop of the raunchiest Satanic ritual one can possibly perform.
